Question Re. shipping stuff from US

I was wondering if I buy something off ebay and the price is listed as $0.99 but shipping is listed $100, will I pay duty and taxes on $0.99 or $100.99 when I recieve the item at my door. Shipping company is UPS. Is there any other charges other than the taxes? how do they calculate these charges? fixed rate or percentage of the item price? Any info is appreciated

Thanks

You'll pay duty on the $0.99 (If they would even bother).

UPS will charge you a brokerage fee, only because they are gay.
How does UPS calculate the bulls.hit fee....I mean brokerage fee??...beats the hell out of me. I think they pull a number out of hat, and that's your extra fee.

Try and ship by USPS, it will save you on that gay UPS fee.
